Erlestoke Park - Castle Hill (NSW)

Benjamin Swinfield Nice local park. Good for picnics and BBQs. Although, dont play any music... security came up and told us to turn it off! I think this might actually be the Footloose town! As everything fun seems to be banned! Haha

F Liu Great orange-painted pedestrian bridge for bikes, walkers, electric bikes, skateboarders. Easy access to Rhodes and Olympic Park across the river! Beats taking the ferry over! Lovely view from the bridge.

Megan Smythe I have been out on the whale watching boat many times and have never been disappointed! Andrew and Andy the skippers are awesome along with the rest of their crew/whale spotters. I have been fortunate on many occasions to have whales approach the boat and breach and put on an amazing show. This tour really respects the whales and is informative. A great day on the ocean with these guys everytime!

Cheeky Richo Just a short drive off the freeway is Woopi headland at Woolgoolga. Grab some food in town and head up to the headland and take in the view. Watch the surfers, dolphins and the bird life. Plenty of free parking, walking trails, seating, enjoy whale watching when in season. Spectacular beach vistas to the north and south, outstanding views of solitary Islands. A great spot for a picnic or to relax.

Shally Konjo Beautiful beach and rockpools. Love exploring the rockpools and seeing the animals we could find there. The rocks themselves were unusually designed with small holes in them. They were laid out in roughly shaped rectangular slabs on the shore. Just be careful when walking on them, as they are slippery. We enjoyed this outing (minus a flat tyre we got on the way to another location. But Im not going to let that put a dampener on my trip there!).

Simon Chen Great view and fantastic for afternoon walking. Kids friendly. They love hopping kangaroos.

Rodney Stuckey Very informative museum with very well laid out displays and presentations. The staff were helpful and guided us through the centre. The audio/visual presentation was very enlightening about the whaling history and gave a good information grounding for the rest of the centres display. Really enjoyed the visit.

Marcin Jackowski Pretty views of the ocean and bay. Did not see any marine life when we were there. It is located only 1 minute walk from the parking and the park. There is a bench to enjoy views.

Aga Lucky Love this coastal walk! You need to walk at first a bit through the beach (to the left from the parking) then you climb few steps and the track begins. Takes around 1-1,5hr return of you skip the staircase at the end.

Team Thomas We did the passage tour. Perfect speed for the oldies and my little one who is scared of boats. I would have gathered it be a smidge quicker. The place is stunning, so any boat ride tour will definitely do it justice. It was painful to not be able to stop and swim or Snorkel at these crystal clear beaches and rock pools so if they offered a swimming option, I would highly recommend that instead. We were lucky to see dolphins in the final moments of the tour and they were incredible. The boat was nice and big. Heaps of room to move around. My only whinge is that there is no cool place to get relief from the sun and heat. One kid got super over heated and me too if Im honest. An air-conditioned inside space would have been absolutely magic!! Despite that, we had a great experience and I would highly recommend
